Not quite old enough to see the originals but have loved The Honeymooners forever. As a young lad, they were in first syndication. [Same with I Love Lucy.] Great comedy and I still enjoy catching one when I can. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

Yes I am old enough to remember "to the moon Alice!, to the moon!". What I enjoyed most was looking at your comments and laughing at those of you who did or did not understand, and then you googled, very smat guys here on thais site. Loved it!

Actually too young to "really" remember but as a kid it played on a local channel on Sunday morning at some strange time like 11AM? It was after Jesus Cartoons (a local minister had a show where he did his think and showed cartoons like Davey and Goliath and something else I can't remember but 2 mice and a cat, Pixy, Dixie and Jinx??) anyway I knew it from watching it then and thinking it was soooooo funny, now? I can't believe I was remotely interested.

I am young enough to be confused... I mean duh I'm 21.
BUT I'm also young enough to have googled alice kramden (before reading the other comment by Petermark doing the same thing), and now I understand. :-)

I had to Google Alice Kramden to see why it was funny. Here's what I found:

Tsk tsk... are you old enough to have seen the original HONEYMOONERS TV show, with Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph? Ralph Kramden (Gleason) was a bus driver, and Alice (Meadows) his wife. Whenever Ralph would get angry about something (very often his wife's teasing him about his weight - Gleason being a very fat actor), Ralph's reaction would be "One of these days Alice, one of these days... POW! (or BANG, or ZOOM) right to the moon!!"

This was, of course, in the "good old bad old" days when spousal abuse was something to be made fun of, and not an item of abhorrence as it is in these overly-sensitive times.
